Recipe Description

Looking for a healthy jam recipe? Discover how to make this easy Sugar Free Plum Chia Jam! It’s the perfect healthy jam, delicious, vegan and paleo-friendly to boot.

With no added sugar, you can feel good about eating it right out of the jar or swirling it into your yogurt and overnight oats. 

Ready in minutes and good to keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, this homemade chia jam can easily change your breakfast game. Enjoy!

Superb! I made this for my family's weekend brunch, and everyone loved it! The plums are so sweet and flavorful, it made a perfect spread for our toasted bread. I didn’t even need to use the maple syrup because the natural taste was just great. Will be making this often!
